Install the wheel by positioning the rotor between the brake pads and fixing the
wheel in the dropouts. Close the quick release of your wheel which you should mount
on the opposite side of the brake caliper and tighten it sufficiently. As to thru-axle
hubs or wheels consult the manual of the respective fork manufacturer.
Squeeze the lever blade several times (pump) to push the pads to their proper posi-
tion until the lever feel becomes very firm.
10. Correctly mounted disc brake wheel.
The rotor has to run directly under the separation line of the caliper halves (see arrow).
If ever this is not the case re-position the caliper with the 0,2mm spacers.
O.K.! wrong!
In case of a constantly dragging disc brake causing noise your frame is badly aligned.
In such a case you should contact your dealer who can care with the MAGURA Gnann-o-
mat disc optimizer for a totally even surface of the disc brake mounts. These are abso-
lutely necessary for a drag free function of your brake.
Do not worry when you hear friction between rotor and pads. A slight drag
is normal on disc brakes with automatic pad wear adjustment during the break-
in period. This drag will disappear after a while. The reason for this is that the
brake pads find their optimum working position towards the rotor, only after a
slight wear during the break-in period. Slight drag might also happen after a
brake pad change or in case of an incorrectly installed wheel.
New brakes and/or new rotors or brake pads must always be run in by
breaking at least 30 times from a speed of 30km/h to achieve the maximum
brake power. Take your bike to a safe place to run in the brake.
Reach adjust is done with a 2mm Allen key. Turning key clockwise: lever
blade moves away from the handlebar, turning counterclockwise: blade moves to the
handlebar.
